Abstract
Provided is a non-planar transistor with a multi-gate structure that includes a germanium channel region, and a method of manufacturing the same. The non-planar transistor includes a silicon body and a channel region that covers exposed surfaces of the silicon body. The channel region is formed of a germanium layer and includes a first channel region and a second channel region. In order to form the germanium channel region, a mesa type active region is formed on the substrate, and a germanium layer is formed to cover two sidewalls and an upper surface of the active region.
